A Sheffield Wire student journalist stunned viewers when he took home over £5,000 on ITV’s The Chase on Friday afternoon.
Tom Burton, 28, who is studying an MA in Journalism was one of three winning contestants who collectively beat the chaser to win £17,000.
The two minute general knowledge chase down was nail-bitingly close, coming down to the final question where the chaser failed to answer in time.
Mr Burton said of his experience on the gameshow: “I barely slept a wink the night before, I was up all night with anxiety and palpitations and when I got into the studio my whole body was just shaking.”
